Aiming to address the specific needs of the aquaculture industry, ThaMa-Vet – a provider of veterinary syringes – has two new innovative designs for automatic syringes which may significantly change the way that fish vaccines are administered. The syringes, which are already in use by several vaccine companies, promise to provide a fast and precise alternative to traditional syringe systems.
The ThaMa 405 is a fixed dosage syringe for the mass treatment of fish with all the features needed for wet environment vaccinations. It is easy to assemble and maintain and is continually ready for repeat performance. The ThaMa 422 is a double-barrelled fixed dosage syringe enabling the administration of two different vaccines in two different dosages at once in one shot using one needle.
“The aquaculture industry is developing rapidly and is expected to double in size over the next decade. We have been approached by fish growers, who express their frustration with the lack of a reliable, durable and easy to handle fish syringe in the market. Recognising the complexity of vaccinating fish, we developed the new syringes - emphasizing the need for micro-dosage - which are lightweight, user friendly and allow precise dosage administration, making the vaccination process significantly smoother for massive quantities of fish,” said Udi Nechmad, CEO of ThaMa-Vet, in a press release.
Both syringe systems have been developed specifically for the mass vaccination of fish requiring micro-doses of treatment. They are supplied with two fixed-dosage pistons of 0.05cc and 0.1cc, which ThaMa-Vet states are precise, reliable, and suitable for work in wet environments.
